    yeah that first album is classic. shame his voice was f***ed because it makes a majority of his later stuff unlistenable. did u ever hear his helter skelter album? its basically a collection of the raps he wrote for dre for the unreleased ice cube and dr dre collab album under the same name but adjusted a lot of the lyrics to fit him. Dre was pissed off. I remember reading an interview around the time he just left death row and he was going in on DOC for it.

    yeah he had a couple of projects. Shame because I could see a lot of his music getting pushed and doing farely well if his voice was there. He actually didn't rap much on this album. got other people to do so. Such a shame because he had a really strong rapping voice before the accident.

    oof this hard

    speaking of ice cube you listen much to his solo stuff? feel like every once in a while i check out new stuff he put out it’s incredibly corny and dad s***, it’s pretty off putting knowing how incredible of a writer and street he was when he came out when you look back

    i keep hearing about dre flops before 2001, which i assume this and i believe “the firm”are what is referred to as, at least by dre himself and his crew, but then i keep reading they’re underrated 🤔

    Yeah cube got classics.his first two projects are for sure and that kill at will ep is good. The Predator & Lethal Injection are nice. some tracks im not big on but some classic songs for sure. then everything after that is just hit or miss with me. this is when cube started to do his best pac impression with his vocal inflections (its fair game considering how much pac took from cube on his first couple albums). this is around the start of the westcoast connection era (he was also clout chasing the f*** out that east/west fued for his own gain but thats another story). that first westcoast connection album fire tho. then theres those war and peace albums....ehhh. still some solid tracks here and there but he's past his prime at that point

    so tldr peep the first couple albums and dont expect much after that but he for sure still has his moments.

    love reading all that, makes me wanna dive all the way into it g, thank you will definitely start with the first and go on! idk i think the other day i slipped onto a track he did with his son ? prod sounded super 2009ish, track called something girl wouldn’t make it by herself or something, thought the prod was kinda ice actually with the synths but cube was so out of place

    no disrespect tho, dude a pioneer either way and the fact he was so young when he did all those classics blows my mind to this day, im sure im missin out

    tbh his 2 2000s albums after the War/Peace s***s aren't that bad. Inconsistent but they do have some classic tunes

    Love me some "smoke some weed", "gangsta rap made me do it", "do ya thang", "go to church", "why we thugs" etc..
